8-bit SCSI
Also called narrow SCSI.
Ultra narrow SCSI provides data
transfer rates of up to 20 MB per
second.
10/100BaseT
Refers to the 100
Mbit/s network technology over
category 5 UTP (unsheilded twisted
pair) cable that is compatible with the
proposed IEEE 802.3 standard. This
technology, which takes the
CSMA/CD protocol to 100 MBits/s
operation, is also referred to as 802.3u
or Fast Ethernet.
16-bit SCSI
Also called wide SCSI.
Ultra wide SCSI provides data
transfer rates of up to 40 MB per
second.
adapter
An accessory board that
connects to the system board via an
accessory board slot.
ADPCM
Adaptive Differential Pulse
Code Modulation. A data compression
technique. See PCM.
A-law
A method of data compression
that enables sampling of sound at a
resolution of 16 bits, but that
generates the same quantity of data as
an 8-bit sampling rate.
AVI files
Audio-Video Interleaved
file format used with Microsoft’s
Video for Windows.
Basic MIDI format
Allows MIDI
channels 13 to 16 of the General MIDI
operation mode to be used when
notes are played through MIDI.
BBS
Bulletin Board System. A
computer that uses a modem and
software to serve as an information
source for other computers equipped
with a modem. Hewlett-Packard has a
BBS that can be reached at +1 (408)
553-3500.
BIOS
Basic Input-Output System.
Software that provides an interface
between the computer hardware and
the operating system.
bus
An electrical connection over
which information is transported.
cache
A block of high-speed memory
used for the temporary storage of data
and processor instructions.
CD-ROM
Compact Disc Read Only
Memory. A mass storage device that
uses compact disc technology. ROM
CDs can store data, but most cannot
be written to.
Compression
A technique for
compacting data for more efficient
storage or transmission. The sound
quality of compressed audio data is
greatly reduced. See entries for A-law
and μ-law.
CD-RW
Compact Disc Read Write. A
mass storage device that uses
compact disc technology to read data
on CDs and write data to CDs.
CMOS
Complementary Metal-Oxide
Semiconductor memory requires very
little power to operate. The contents
of your computer’s CMOS memory are
preserved when you turn off the
